What type of bone is the clavicle?
Long bone
Lateral end of clavicle:
Articulates with:
Medial end of clavicle:
Articulates with:
- lateral or acromial extremity - art. acromion process
- medial or sternal extremity -art. manubrium of sternum & the first costal cartilage.
Joints of shoulder girdle are classified as:
Movement:
Names of joints:
- synovial joints
- freely movable or diarthrotic.
- Scapulohumeral joint – ball and socket
- Acromioclavicular (AC) joint – gliding (or plane)
- Sternoclavicular (SC) joint – gliding (or plane)
Which joint is only joint that connects shoulder girdle and thorax
SC Joint
AP CLAVICLE
TECHNIQUE:
CR:
RESPIRATION: (& WHY)
ANATOMY:
TECHNIQUE: 70 - 75 kV @ 8 - 12 mAs
CR: PERP. TO MIDCLAVICLE
RESPIRATION: SUSPEND @ END OF INSPIRATION (ELEVATES CLAV)
ANATOMY: Entire clavicle, both AC and SC joints
- Midclavicle is superimposed on the superior scapular angle
AP AXIAL - CLAVICLE
TECHNIQUE:
CR:
ANGLE: (WHY)
RESPIRATION: (& WHY)
ANATOMY:
TECHNIQUE: 70-75 KV @ 8-12 MAS
CR: MID CLAVICLE
ANGLE: 15-30* CEPHALIC (DEGREE OF FX DISPLACEMENT)
RESPIRATION: SUSPEND AT END OF INSPIRATION (ELEVATES CLAV)
ANATOMY: Clavicle is above scapula and the ribs
-Medial end of clavicle is superimposed over 1ST/2ND ribs
LABEL THE IMAGE
A. SC joint
B. Sternal extremity of clavicle
C. Body of clavicle
D. Acromial extremity of clavicle

AP AC JOINT
AKA:
ROUTINE:
TECHNIQUE:
SID:
WHY PREFORMED:
IR:
AKA: PEARSON METHOD
ROUTINE: AP BILAT W/O WEIGHTS & AP BILAT W/ WEIGHTS
TECHNIQUE: 75-85 KV @ 16-24
SID: 72 SID
WHY PREFORMED: POSS. AC JOINT SEPERATION
IR: LANDSCAPE / TOP OF IR 2 IN ABOVE SHOULDER
WHAT IS PEARSON METHOD?
WHAT IS DONE PRIOR TO PEASRON METHOD & WHY?
WHAT IS INDICATED IF THERE IS A WIDENING JOINT SPACE?
PEARSON = AP AC JOINTS W & W/O WEIGHTS
- CLAVICLE OR SHOULDER XRAY FIRST R/O FX
- WIDENING JOINT SPACE = SEPERATION OF AC JOINTS
AP AC JOINTS
AKA:
CR:
RESPIRATION:
HOW PREFORMED?
ANATOMY:
AKA: PEARSON METHOD
CR: PERP, BTWN AC JOINTS (1IN ABOVE JUG. NOTCH)
RESPIRATION: SUSPENDED
PREFORMED: 2 EXPOSURES, 1 W. WEIGHT, 1 W/O WEIGHT. STRESS VIEW W. WEIGHT AROUND WRIST
ANATOMY: Both AC joints, entire clavicles, & SC joints
- AC joints on the same horizontal plane.
-No rotation, Symmetric appearance of SC joints
IF UNILATERAL PEARSON - WHAT IS CR?
WHERE ARE WEIGHTS? WHY?
CR: 1IN BELOW AC JOINT OF AFFECTED SIDE
8-10 LBS AROUND WRIST: HOLDING WEIGHTS MAKE SHOULDERS CONTRACT
WHAT PROJECTION?
LEFT IMAGE = PEARSON W/0 WEIGHT
RIGHT IMAGE = PEARSON W. WEIGHTS
